Maps

Prior to starting a trip one needs to have a map. Trips listed on our website have or will have maps with them. However, one may wish to explore on their own or take alternate routes to the final destination. Whatever it may be here are some resources to help plan that great trip!

There are two categories for the maps. The first is regarding current maps. Here you can download the latest and greatest recreation maps as well as the option to purchase them. The second category is for historical maps. These maps may no longer be accurate and would be used for historical and informational purposes. One can see the “evolution” of the trail system with addition, subtraction, and use changes as far back as 1907!

Supported by the US Forest Service, you can now download the free app to obtain Forest Service maps, USGS maps, aerial maps, and more. It is available for both Apple and Android devices and soon Windows. NOTE: Some maps are free and others are not. However, all links above stating “geo-referenced” are free and can be loaded into the app.

Deleted the CAL US topo map link today. It wasn’t as user friendly and the maps are no longer accurate when compared to the US Forest Service Topography map link. Now there is accessed to Geo-referenced TOPO maps in PDF and TIFF form! Great for smartphone users using Avenza App.
